The Microsoft Store Black Friday Sale is effective until November 27 online and in Microsoft retail stores. The Microsoft Store offers free shipping and an extended return period on all orders with no minimum.

Wasn't the Dell XPS 13 use to be on sale for $999 a few weeks ago? How could BF sale be worse than a regular sale?

Because Black Friday, like Boxing Days of past, bank on the marketing hype to get consumers into the store and make you spend on what you think is a good deal.

If you track sales for Best Buy, plenty of times items on sale during the year were cheaper than Black Friday. And some have their prices raised during Black Friday to make it seem like the savings are steeper.
